So Bush is "loving" the widows of the Iraq war...

[bleedingheart]

oh god...he sounded so stupid...

From the transcript..

"You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can, knowing full well that the decision I made caused her loved one to be in harm's way.

I told her after we prayed and teared up and laughed some that I thought her husband's sacrifice was noble and worthy. Because I understand the stakes of this war on terror. I understand that we must find Al Qaida wherever they hide. "

1. Is he practicing his love on them

...Like those OB/GYNs he spoke about....

[bleedingheart]

3. must be...

but imagine..you lose a spouse and now the president is trying to "love you" as best as he can...what an absolutely creepy statement..

[htuttle]

11. Just like Caligula did

But it didn't make him particularly popular with the Legions...

[CarolynEC]

2. Creepy, isn't it? What's with this "lovin' " thing?

*shudder*

[MnFats]

4. that was one of the oddest things I have ever heard.

what in the world?
and just days after the ob/gyn 'loving american women' thing.

[TahitiNut]

5. It's gotta make their skin crawl. It sure does mine.

Hell, he looked like he was humping the podium all night -- obsessed with it being "hard"!

[bleedingheart]

9. my skin is still crawling!

[LisaLynne]

6. A president should be able to speak better than that.

We're all a little numb to it, but dang.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. WTF?

All right, now, Mr. President. Step...away...from...the bong... "It's hard work to love her as best I can?" What?? Is that like the OB-GYNs who can't practice their love on women? That boy just ain't RIGHT. Not to mention that he conflated Iraq with Al Qaeda again. Jeez, what an utter cretin.

[Peachhead22]

12. Security moms are thinking:

OK, so he's gonna kill my husband in a war, then come over and try to screw me...err "love" me, then try to get me to laugh? What a fluckin insensitive idiot! WTF?

[deadmessengers]

15. Malloy just gave you a shoutout.

[bleedingheart]

[Invalence1]

24. Mike Malloy

Talk show host on Air America just referred to yur post on his show. Running right now on Sirius satellite radio.

[Swamp Rat]

19. HAHA! Good one!

[Old and In the Way]

8. He also called terrorists....."folks"

Unbelievable.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

10. Rove's mike/headphone feed failed. "IXNAY ON THE OVE-LAY!"

[0007]

13. He did sound stupid on that one.....the one that got me was at the

end of the debate when he was wrapping up and said, "I climbed the mighty mountain and looked down at the peace in the valley below."

[WLKjr]

17. I was hearing

" I climbed the mighty mountain, slipped, and fell off the edge of a cliff."

[Eye and Monkey]

22. What mountain would that be? Chimpie's looked down on devastation

- if he looked at all?

Oh! wait! that's NUANCE.

[Reverend_Smitty]

14. Malloy reading this thread on the air right now!

n/t

[XanaDUer]

18. I luv it when he does the * voice!

Eom.

[Peanut Gallery]

16. This thread is getting a mention on Mike Malloy

Just mentioned your post Ocelot... step away from the bong... LOL!

[ignatius 2]

21. That whole thing was creepy. He tried to tear up to show his human,

compassionate side but it came off totally phony..he couldn't even say the man had died, only that he had been in harm's way.

Cannon fodder is all they are to this weasel, I am surprised that he even met this woman. It must have been recently, probably so he could mention it in the debates, otherwise there is no way in hell he would have even remembered her name.

[Nicholas_J]

23. Hey...

Bush is practicing gynecological loving without a license.

[XanaDUer]

25. Eeewww!

Yuck. Please let's keep Bush from practicing his love any more.

[BiggJawn]

26. That was creepy...

Considering that he says OB-GYN docs are "practicin' their LUV on the wimmen of Murka"....
Hi Mike!
